Nature's Rhythm — Moon Planting Calendar (English)

Brought to you by Johnny Rydge, author of Evolution Farm — French Polynesia's first natural farming book.

Nature's Rhythm is a moon planting calendar for the Southern Hemisphere, covering July 2026 through December 2027. Northern Hemisphere dates are included too, so if you're gardening in France, Europe, or anywhere north of the equator, simply turn the calendar upside down and the same pages guide your planting.

This calendar comes from a longer journey. After chemical poisoning on a vanilla plantation in Tahaa really got my attention, I went searching for answers in the invisible world of microbes — and spent a decade building and teaching chemical-free farming across the islands. Then my son Jack fell seriously ill, and I went searching again, this time into the world inside our own guts. What I found changed everything: the soil, the plant, and the human gut all run on the same biological laws, and dance to the same natural rhythm.

Inside: monthly planting guidance, a guide to reading the calendar, notes on constellations, and the traditional Tahitian understanding of Matari'i — the Pleiades season marking the turning of the year. Each month comes with real field observations to help you pick up the rhythm for yourself. Buy now and get six extra months included free, July through December 2026, so you can start planting right away. You'll also find the first of our Plant Profiles — deep dives into the crops we actually grow, with the science, the timing, and the companions that help them thrive.
